A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory ...

The team pinpointed the exact moment mice learned a new skill by observing the activity of individual neurons, confirming earlier work that suggested animals are fast learners that purposely test the ...

Our brains have an extraordinary ability to adapt and learn, a process known as neuroplasticity. From navigating a new city to mastering a new skill, neuroplasticity allows us to reshape our neural ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more ...

It turns out your brain might not be the only part of your body that remembers. Scientists at NYU have found that cells outside the brain—like those from your kidneys—can actually "learn" and form ...

To understand why, the team looked at the MRI scans.

A landmark study published by scientists at the University of California San Diego is redefining science's understanding of the way learning takes place. The findings, published in the journal Nature ...

When it comes to learning, it’s not age but our brain’s plasticity that determines our lifelong learning curve. The ability to learn is closely tied to the brain’s development and its inherent ...

It is now understood that the hippocampus is closely linked to learning and memory (Doidge, 2015; Suzuki, 2015). However, this was not always the case. One prominent experiment investigating memory, ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...
